I happened to be a three weeks’ visitor on the Island recently, and was very happy that I was able to attend The Beauty Contest given by the Legion at the Isle of Palms Pavillion on Monday, July 23rd. It seems that all things were in attune with the spectacular event. It was a wonderful moonlight even ing. The clear sky, with myriads of stars, the beautiful Atlantic roll ing and dashing at high tide, and the cooling breeze sweeping through the flag-decked thronged pavillion, created a scene which is indellibly impressed on my mind and which time will not efface. I have seen many events of this kind, but have never been present at one where the town people were more cordial and so generous in their applause and appreciation as they were to their out-of-town guests. At 8:30 the pavillion was filled to its capacity and crowds at the door where the beauty contestants were, had to be pushed back to make room for them to enter. Such cheers and trills were Clever heard. It was exhilarating to me and a splendid tonic, to see how beauty and grace appeals to the best in individuals. There were 45 contestants at high tension, each hoping to be the fortunate future queen of the legion.

McCormick should congratulate herself on selecting and having such a beautiful girl as Bettye as her representative. Bettye made a wonderful showing and I was al most impelled to the conclusion once, she was going to head the list. The girls were called back eight imes, and Bettye was called back five times out of the eight. Next time they were eliminated to three and then two. The two last girls were called back twice. I heard much favorable comment over the pavillion as to Bettye’s beauty. Her dress was an exquisite crea tion of yellow flowered tafetta, with two wide bands of seed pearls that came across the shoulders fas tening in a lovely bow at the back. With this exquisite costume she wore lace mittens and silver slip- Monday.
